the marxist theory is about the relationship between labour and capital

Every market is limited by laws and cultural norms.

oh okay so now we have limitations of these free markets

So essentially free markets don't exist

the only way to have a FREE market is to remove all law and all culture from the equation

okay good

so what happens if there are no laws and *culture*

and i make a product cheaper than my competition and run them out

the competition kills you

how?

with weapons

now i understand why you think there were too many numbers in Kapital

Not being able to nuke your opponent is a limitation on the free market.

LANGUAGE is a limitation to the free market

LIFE is a limitation to the free market

Is it not the case that a monopoly prevents competitors from bringing an alternate product to market. By utilising legislation, corporate espionage and the artificial inflation of needed rescources an established company can make competition non viable and prevents the consumer from voting with their custom by ensuring only one option remains. In politics it's called a dictatorship in commerce it's a monopoly.

My question is whats wrong with monopolies? If they can provide a service, better and cheaper than the competition and people find it convenient, why not?

-w-

He literally just answered that

Im asking is it wrong?

Yes

why

what has morality got to do with products and services

You ever read about 1800's america

Im more interested in understanding why it's wrong for monopolies to exist

> what has morality got to do with products and services

People have to agree to respect property if you even want to have trade.

what has that got to do with anything, me buying a product and a service from a company has what to do with property?

@faultfiction you mean what's wrong with a benevolent dictator? How do you develop or improve without the ability to compare two products. Company A has a product, company B is trying to develop a product, if company A prevents the development of company B product how can the markets compare them. If company B brings its product to market and the markets choose company A enmass this is a fair win.

How is Company A preventing company B from developing a product. In a society with no laws and culture and a free market society what has that go to do with anything

You can't have a society with no culture

You can't have laws without a society

Ahhh

*Tech monopolies have become a necessity in the modern era because of culture*

@faultfiction are we not discussing the intersection of free markets and monopolies ?

Yes because google is the go to engine

As are iPhones

so is Bing

and Samsung

Or Microsoft office

Any movie is essentially owned by disney

is it
